Made it to the office

Well I made it to the office.  It’s been a slow and kind of boring type of day.  I had a few things to do to occupy my time.  Got a boring meeting to go to in a bit and then another one after that.  I should be eating lunch now but figure I can do that a bit later during one of the meetings. 

My colleague who had most of last week off is back.  He should have called me or at the very least written me by now but I’ve heard nothing from him.  He’s got a pile of work to crank out in just a few days and I know when I am out on Thursday & Friday that is not doing him any favors.  I don’t think he will make his goal and that will put some pressure on me but the difference is if I am left alone I can work and get stuff done.  For all I know he is busy typing away.  I’ll see him in my meeting. 

I did wind up kicking Gator out of my room last night.  Got a good nights sleep but had a strange dream and woke up a couple times.  I went right back to sleep and even beat the alarm clock this morning.  I did NOT want to move at 6A but having a goal to make it to the office was the motivation that kept me in line.  Traffic was a breeze, went a different way than my normal route.  My normal route has a bunch of lane restrictions and construction.  I am trying to avoid it if possible so chances are I will go home the same way I came in.  Kind of depends on what the traffic map says when I am ready to head out. 

I left Gator with plenty of food and she devoured the large can I put out for her this morning.  I know she isn’t happy that I am gone but were going to be together for the majority of the rest of the week that should brighten her day.  She slept in my lap in the chair last night as I was waiting for my sleeping medicine to kick in, she was in a deep sleep within a couple minutes.  You could see that she just totally relaxed and was enjoying her slumber.  That makes me happy that just her being near me can give her that comfort feel.  I kind of need to find someone or something that can do that same thing for me.  Used to be just going to a hotel/motel would cause me to get a great nights sleep but that wore off as I got older.  Especially when I was traveling on business. 

I booked a haircut on Friday the 13th.  I don’t know if that was a smart move or not but it’s not until the early afternoon because I know I won’t be in a huge hurry to get out of bed.  Especially considering I booked an early appointment on Thursday for my vehicle maintenance.  I figured that would serve as some motivation while I was out to visit a couple other places like Target and/or Sam’s to be able to mark them off of my list.  Speaking of which Sam’s was empty on this past Sunday morning, I guess everyone was busy taking mom out to breakfast.  I should have stopped them but I have to be in the mood for it. 

Had a BBQ Burger with Mashed Potatoes for supper and it was a TV Dinner.  Not bad.  There were even pieces of bacon sprinkled in the BBQ Sauce.  It smelled so good it woke Gator up and she wanted some.  AC is on and humming along.  I changed the air filter and made sure that the thermostat was set high so the darn thing doesn’t run all day long.  It was on for a brief moment when I woke up this morning. 

Looking forward to tonight’s supper which will be White Cheddar Mac & Cheese with Bacon bits.  I’ll finish with some German Chocolate cake.  That is really good and then I will be all set to fall asleep shortly after I finish.  Waking up early, driving both ways and putting in some hours at the office is enough to wear me out.  I do expect to sleep really good provided I can stay awake and avoid taking any naps.  Right about now a nap sounds mighty fine. 

Hope that your enjoying this Tuesday.  I am about 15 minutes out from that meeting when I need to come back to work.  Thanks for stopping by.  Take care and I will talk with you again soon.
